Love & Support

-

A big hug and kiss to everyone. This isn't necessarily in celebration of Valentines Day, but mostly just for the love and support. It's not mush...It's all about love. This photo (if you remember from a previous post) was inspired by my wife who escaped my clutches during this shot. xoxoxo Peace~

Hey Stephen,
I hope you and your wife had a lovely and special Valentine's Day! Thanks for listing me on your sidebar (I was somehow hoping I'd get put with the writers and poets!). I like your template (it's the same one for Ballad of Lareaux, if you'll recall); good choice! God's grace and peace be with you today and always. Have a great rest of the week.

Peace,
Michele

Greetings! Thanks for stopping by Original Creations Blog: As for your comment, I leave you with words from an Afrikan Centered Brother about Whoopi G.
He said, "I have less than no respect for Whoopi Goldberg and anything she does. Don't need DNA. Doesn't make a difference which ethnic group. I'm Afrikan."

Thank you for the Valentines wished and Belated Valentines wishes for you as well. My computer had a hiccup yesterday and thought this was a forbidden sex site. Why? I do not know, but I am glad it is fixed so I can once again check in with you.

I hope you had a cozy evening with your Mrs. Here I had a cozy night with my kitty. My honey went to the Wild hockey game without me :( But his friend had a free ticket and I told him to go. Free ticket to a suite at a hockey game... no brainer.

Well, take care and have a great day and stay warm! PS,, love the picture, it is worth repeating it!

DC Legend: Chicken Wings & Mumbo Sauce

-
Image
Mumbo Jumbo Noun. 1. Confusing or incomprehensible language or activity. 2. An obscure ritual or incantation. [Mandingo origin.] American Heritage Dictionary Of the English Language Mumbo sauce? Anyone who has ever traveled east of the Anacostia River has heard the term, Mumbo Sauce. What do I mean by east of the river? I mean if you have ventured anywhere near Benning Road, Wheeler Road, Southern Avenue, or Minnesota Avenue in North/Southeast Washington, D.C. There is no way that you can go into any Korean owned and operated “Kerry-Out” [ trans. Carry-Out food ] in DC and not hear someone order french fries with chicken wings and Mumbo Sauce. Impossible! Some like it on the chicken and others (like me) like it on the side. I’ve always thought of Mumbo Sauce as a DC thang, but where did it really come from?  Actually, Mumbo Sauce originated on Chicago's Southside in the early 1950s by a man named Argia B. Collins, who was known for his famous ribs and barbeque Mumbo Sauce. N...

Remembering Linda Pollin

-
Image
I grew up in the  Linda Pollin Memorial Housing Projects.   First of all, I did not know that it was built in memory of Abe Pollin's daughter.  In fact, I didn't even know the name, Abe Pollin.  I was a child, so I thought it was just a name given to the apartments.  At the time, my siblings and I had no idea that we lived in a housing project.  Well, the complex had a swimming pool, and the grounds were well kept. Also, it didn't resemble the well known surrounding projects like  Valley Green , Condon Terrace , or Wahler Place . The manager was Ms. Royster who was sort of a no-nonsense type of landlord based on the conversations I heard from grownups.  However, she seemed nice; plus, we all played with and knew her son, John. Well, although Mr. Pollin passed away back in 2009, I would still like to thank him for building the "LP" as we used to call it.  When I became old enough to learn that it was built by Mr. Pollin to honor his ...

Frank Brown (A.K.A. Uncle Ben???)

-
Image
Did you know that Uncle Ben was a real person? We really don't care who is fact or fiction when we want some rice to go with those red beans or peas. We just want to eat, right? Well, Uncle Ben was a African American rice farmer from Texas who won many prizes for his methods and quality in growing rice. I know that most of us think of Asia when it comes to the cultivation and quality of rice, but there was a region in West Africa that Europeans called the "Rice Coast" near Sierra Leone. That area was a strategic focus during the slave trade in the late 1760's because rice was becoming a fast growing industry in America. Uncle Ben's ancestors were most likely victims of the rice boom. Anyway, Uncle Ben's reputation grew and his rice soon became the standard in which all rice would be measured. How did his face get on the box? Did he start his own company? Well, no. That's not even his face on the box. The face on the box was a man from Chicago named Frank B...
